VE does a pretty good job for one-off conversions.

I'm looking for a tool that non-technical staff can use for converting large numbers of docs into mostly usable wikitext. I don't know without more (recent) research whether Pandoc or LibreOffice supports better conversion. Just wondering if anyone has setup something like this or knows of its existence.

Thanks,

Greg

You can paste rich text into the Visual Editor. The wikitext it
produces usually needs some cleaning up afterward (bold headings,
inconsistent list markup, etc), but it's probably the easiest for
non-technical folks.
